Provider Router Lan (RJ45) to WAN (RJ45) BPI-R4 Router

I tried Network interface -----> PPPOE-----> I put username and password but no network


  • How I can replace Fiber router by OpenWRT router I have SFP fiber optic WAN

If it is PON you need pon sfp module, not optical ethernet.

Provider Router Lan (RJ45) to WAN (RJ45) OpenWRT BPI-R4 Router.... but still no network

Whos your provider?

Provider Name : STC (Saudi Telecom Company)
Country : Saudi Arabia

In English just connect your router... Check if you have some dsl ppoe remnants, disable those and add new dhcp client wan.

one of friends has Linksys wrt3200acm

He connected the ethernet from LAN of Fiber Router (Provider) ---> To WAN of BPI-R4 (OpenWRT)

He installed New OpenWRT system but couldn't get network through PPPoE WAN

He tried old version of OpenWRT that one has Switch tap ... he got network through PPPoE WAN


You need to check Arabic pages, in English pages it says to plug cable in the wall.
